Awesome case

LIAN LI PC-A70F USB3.0 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI PC-A70F USB3.0 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: I upgraded from my crummy mid tower with no air flow to this and let me tell you, the difference is huge. It's a nice case, good quality.

Cons: None that I have had.

Overall Review: This was my first time taking apart and rebuilding my computer, great case to do it in :) So much room. It's a huge case! The only problem I had was that my MoBo main power cord (the 24pin one) wasn't able to reach the MoBo from the power supply that was now on the bottom of the case instead of on the top like my old one. I had to spend 6 bucks on an extender but I knew I would probably have to extend some wires to begin with so I expected that! I couldn't find any specifications on RPM or CFM on the case fans. As of right now I haven't tested anything on max settings to see how cool it keeps my gfx in those settings but is does keep things way cooler then my old tower, so I may or may not have to put beefier fans in. Also got it for 115 from promo + giftcard :) So pretty good price for me!

Pros: Good case for what comes in it

Cons: Bad out of the box airflow. You need to add some. I had to take off the side and put a mini desk fan to push heat off the gfx. cpu heatsink/fan is pretty good though.

Overall Review: In the process of upgrading from this.

great

Pros: Great card. I haven't been able to push the card because my previous case couldn't keep it cool with games on high settings. With new case and much better cooling I am going to be pushing games to their max settings to see what it can do.

Cons: Will wait to see what it can do with my better case and cooling as I have no real cons atm.

Great Case
